Hong Kong Video Script + Shot List (Patreon)

In making this video, I had to move around a lot in hot and humid conditions, so I kept things short and simple. I like to follow the 9-shot rule, which means I aim to capture 2 wide shots, 2 establishing shots, 2 mid shots, 2 close-up shots, and 1 creative shot for each location I visit. This gives me plenty of footage to work with during editing. Since I couldn't control the filming environment, especially in restaurants where I couldn't choose my seat or film without disturbing other customers, I had to improvise a lot to make editing easier. Here's the script I followed. I find it helpful to plan what I want to say using scripts so I can deliver my ideas smoothly, even though sometimes it takes about 10 tries to get the line right in one take, I think it's worth the effort lol.
